They will be among 3000 kindergarten to Year 12 students who will take part in the Southern Stars spectacular on August 26 and 27.
Mittagong Public School and Moss Vale High School will join the show at the WIN Entertainment Centre.
This year's theme is "embrace".
"Embrace is about awakening, looking at life through an appreciative lens and making the most of every moment," creative director Ruth Ellevsen said.
"It is also about embracing your skill set, challenging yourself to develop, being enthusiastic about opportunities, and be grateful and embrace the opportunities that cause you to grow as a person."
Audience favourites such as the NSW Public Schools Millennial Marching Band, Circus, the Rising Stars, and Yanggaa Garaba will make a comeback this year.
There will also be a choir of 500 students, 2000 dancers, feature artists, a full orchestra and drama acts.
Students from the Highlands will take part in the Mass Primary Dance, and are part of the Southern Stars Performing Company; where performers across different disciplines audition and are selected.
Executive producer and Corrimal High School principal Paul Roger said about 12,000 patrons would attend each show.
"World-class is a term we hear a lot from our patrons, and we really encourage everyone who loves music, dance, drama, circus, and amazing entertainment, to come along and support the creative talents of our students," he said.
The show was launched on June 20 at the BlueScopes Visitors Centre.
There will be a 10am school matinee and 7pm show on August 26, and a 1pm and 7pm performance on August 27.
Ticket prices vary and they can be bought through Ticketmaster.
